Wow, some going.

GLGL!

Vamos, doobs!

Not sure I have ever seen this before.  Fells arrives from the other room and kind of hovvers around behind me.   Turns out he was waiting for the big blind went past before sitting down.  He has 100k in chips; pigeon*.   I didn't hear it properly, but think he is on a two round penalty.

* I assume that is the correct usage.

Confused.Com

How can he avoid the blinds in a tournament?

GL BTW.

 
Here you go Tom, I'm assuming this is the chap Mr Doobs was referring to;

This player walked up new to our table in PLO8 tournament and noticed he was BB before walking a lap around room. We caught it and he received one round penalty. Not even a BB ante in this event. #Cheating #CmonMan #BadActing #WSOP

I'm sorry. I missed the 'new to our table' bit. I assumed he had left your table for a comfort break.

My favourite comment from this year's updates.

Because maths.

This is the most bonified letter I've seen since the original.

"bonified"?

It was not until I read the letter that the penny dropped.

Cheers all, I have spent the last two hours converting the shorties into big stacks and vice versa.  Down to 283K; I think the average is 400+.

There are still 50 odd left in.   Zero chance it finishes tomorrow.

Keep it going doobs .
Wanna see you sail past my 19th from 2 years ago .
I think there was about 26 left going into day 3 that year .
Amazing how many good spots you can find when you go this deep depending on different players tendencies and getting the right table or seat I found.
Good luck again .

Edit - just remembered there was 19 and I lasted less than 10 minutes 😂

This is just wonderful David, & I can't begin to imagine how well you must have played & how much fun you had. Proper player you.

I'll reply to your very kind PM shortly, sorry for delay, I zonked out last night as lack of sleep eventually caught up with me.

Before that though, I'll post some info on how you sit in the PLO8.
